Cirris System’s goal is to have cables and harnesses free of errors. While many of our products are used for final testing at the end of the test process, they have many features that can be used early in the process to catch errors immediately or prevent them entirely. One of these features is for first-ended pinning.
First-ended pinning is the process of pinning the first end of a wire and using capacitance to verify that the wire has been placed in the correct connector hole. This technique is useful for instances when the second end will be terminated later in the field, will be spliced with another wire, or will be plugged into a connector (second-ended pinning).
There are several important things you need to successfully perform first ended pinning.
The earlier an error is found, the sooner it can be corrected. First-ended pinning is one way to catch errors early. To learn more about this process, check out our article in the Cirris Learning Center.
